Myma, do you hear? Myma?Maya and Daughter live in complete isolation in a secluded woodland, their days aligned with the light and changing seasons, a complex pattern of routine and ritual.One day, when Daughter is almost sixteen, a red-haired stranger steps into the confines of their territory. Where there was always two, suddenly there are three - and the carefully constructed world that Maya has built to keep her daughter safe may not survive it."Muscular, moving and muddy, Life Cycle of a Moth is an unflinching woodland fable you cannot miss. It's astonishing and stirring; a debut novel tenderly cadenced and alchemical, and I'm still reeling from turning its final pages. Rowe Irvin is a born storyteller" -- LUCY ROSE, author of THE LAMB"Unforgettable . . . Wonderfully linguistically playful . . . A book that expertly balances light and dark, childish play and the most adult of terrors . . . [Irvin's] uninhibited, guttural voice carries this magical realist folk fairy-tale, with a little of Max Porter in Irvin's playful, primal prose . . . A masterful, murky and fierce debut" Observer"Tender [and] captivating . . . In impish yet tender style, Irvin thoughtfully explores what it means for a mother to care for a daughter in a world where male violence is everywhere. Life Cycle of a Moth is the very best kind of fiction: with the book open, you feel utterly transported; once you close it, you see how cunningly it holds a mirror up to reality. I can't wait to read whatever Irvin writes next" -- ELLEN PEIRSON-HAGGER Guardian"A beautiful debut. It's rare that a novel feels so much like a little world to escape into, albeit at times a very bleak one, but everything here was so thoroughly and tenderly well-realised, the sense of ceremony and indoctrination, the details of nature. An allegory about the fragile times we live in and the terrible challenges of protecting our way of life and the creatures we love" -- SARA BAUME"With unsparing, imaginative intensity, Rowe Irvin has hewn out of the bedrock of a harsh, non-Latinate lexicon a ferocious drama of damage and isolation, of a mother's ruthless passion and domination of her daughter. Life Cycle of a Moth occupies mythic territory (think Ted Hughes, Jim Crace, Alan Garner) and fills it with rough, poignant tenderness" -- MARINA WARNER A visceral, bold and devastating debut novel exploring male violence and maternal love, and what it means to create a space of refuge.
